Pro Tips

Type Faster, Not Just Harder

Use All Ten Fingers

Keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF / JKL;) and reach outward instead of hunting for keys.

Don't Look Down

Train your eyes to stay on the screen. Looking at the keyboard is the single biggest speed killer.

Accuracy Before Speed

A fast test full of errors scores lower than a slightly slower, clean one. Slow down to speed up.

Practice Daily

Five minutes a day builds muscle memory faster than one long session a week.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is WPM calculated?
WPM counts every 5 correctly typed characters as one word, divided by the time elapsed in minutes.
What is raw WPM?
Raw WPM counts all typed characters including mistakes, while final WPM only counts correct ones.
Is my data stored anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your personal best is saved locally on your device only.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, though a physical keyboard gives the most accurate speed reading.
